TL;DR: This article examined the role of perceived organizational support (POS) in individual change readiness and tested the notion that POS is linked to readine change readiness, using social exchange theory, and found that perceived support is correlated with readine readine readiness.

TL;DR: Job strain expressed mainly as low job control is linked to poorer episodic memory at retirement and more decline after retirement, which appears to have implications for cognitive ageing independent of relevant confounds.
Abstract: Background We examined indicators of job strain in relation to level and change in episodic memory in the years leading up to as well as following retirement. Methods Our analyses centre on 3779 individuals from the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study (baseline age 57.3 years) who reported gainful employment in an occupation for 10+ years prior to retirement, and who were assessed for episodic memory performance over up to 20 years (median 8 waves over 16 years). We used ratings from the Occupational Information Network (O*Net) to score occupations for job control and job demands, and to measure job strain (job demands/job control). Results Controlling for sociodemographic characteristics, depressive symptoms, and cardiovascular disease, less job control and greater job strain were not significantly associated with change in episodic memory in the period leading up to retirement, but were associated with significantly poorer episodic memory at retirement and an accelerated rate of decline in episodic memory following retirement. The results did not vary for men and women or by self-employment status. Conclusions Job strain expressed mainly as low job control is linked to poorer episodic memory at retirement and more decline after retirement. Job characteristics appear to have implications for cognitive ageing independent of relevant confounds.

TL;DR: This study has confirmed the existence of two GP cell types with distinct extracellular waveforms and different responses to dopamine receptor stimulation, which may necessitate a reevaluation of general theoretical models of basal ganglia function in order to account for these opposite effects of dopamine receptors stimulation on pallidal output.
Abstract: Extracellular single-unit recording techniques were used to examine the rat globus pallidus (GP). In both locally anesthetized, paralyzed rats and ketamine-anesthetized rats, we observed two distinct biphasic extracellular waveforms, which we have labeled Type I (negative/positive waveform) and Type II (positive/negative waveform). No significant differences were observed in the firing pattern or number of cells per track between these cell types, although the Type II neurons had a faster mean firing rate in the locally anesthetized animals. A portion of both cell types could be antidromically activated from the subthalamic nucleus, although Type II neurons had significantly slower conduction velocities. The most striking pharmacological difference between the two cell types was that Type I GP neurons were inhibited by systemic administration of the dopamine agonist apomorphine; previous studies have repeatedly shown that Type II. GP cells are excited by this treatment. Pretreatment with a subthreshold dose of apomorphine reduced the responsiveness of Type I cells to a subsequent high dose of apomorphine, as has been shown for Type II cells. However, pretreatment with the NMDA antagonist dizocilpine (MK 801) produced a significant change in the pattern of response to apomorphine for Type II GP neurons only. Relative to observations in locally anesthetized, paralyzed rats, ketamine anesthesia reduced the firing rate of both cell types, but did not significantly alter their direction of response to apomorphine. Thus, this study has confirmed the existence of two GP cell types with distinct extracellular waveforms and different responses to dopamine receptor stimulation. These data may necessitate a reevaluation of general theoretical models of basal ganglia function in order to account for these opposite effects of dopamine receptor stimulation on pallidal output. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.1

TL;DR: Various feminist theories addressing breastfeeding from the perspective of gender ideology, cultural feminism, and history are reviewed and contrasted and feminist health activism is suggested as a unifying perspective.
Abstract: Breastfeeding is widely acknowledged to have health benefits for mothers and infants. Because it is sex-specific, it challenges the feminist principle of gender-neutral childbearing. Various feminist theories addressing breastfeeding from the perspective of gender ideology, cultural feminism, and history are reviewed and contrasted. Employment and race disparities are addressed within feminist contexts. Feminist health activism is suggested as a unifying perspective. J Hum Lact. 24(2):206-212.
